I provide advanced clinical expertise alongside patient-centered care, such as comprehensive assessments and diagnosis, individualized treatment plans, medication management, psychotherapy, holistic care, and more.
I'm a bilingual (English & Spanish) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I understand that effective mental health care is more than medication and symptom management. It is about understanding each patient's unique experiences, providing support, and validating their feelings. To make an impact on patients, I strive to provide personalized holistic care addressing biological, psychological, and social factors that extend beyond the use of prescription medications.

I have many years of experience in psychiatric treatment at the hospital level and at the outpatient level.

I help my patients manage discomfort due to depression, anxiety, symptoms of bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, attention deficit, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, among others.

Together we will establish individualized goals and monitor improvement in symptoms.

In my practice, you'll find a safe therapeutic space to explore your inner conflicts and a framework for discovering the answers and deeper understanding you seek. I believe strongly in minimizing medication use when possible and optimizing the many facets of life that contribute to emotional wellbeing. Through additional psychoanalytic training after finishing residency, I've grown a deep appreciation for listening dynamically to patients rather than focusing merely on symptoms that fit a diagnosis. I'm a firm believer in that our therapeutic relationship is equally, if not more, important than the medication or intervention used.

Male Psychiatrists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
